DH has been convelescing and making trips to the chiropractor every other day or so. The ho-hum of winter in the desert is upon us! Thursday night a bunch of us went to Parrish's Pub for Fish n Chips.
The fish was really good and the wait staff was awesome, as they don't take reservations and when our whole group got there, we ended up with 17 people! We stopped at the Quechan Casino the other day on the way back from Mexico and picked up tickets to a concert Friday evening.
Its stars were Country Music Greats Sammy Kershaw, Joe Diffe and Aaron Tippin. They had a really good show and didn't just stand and sing, they talked about themselves, their careers and songs,told jokes and saluted our Veterans. Aaron Tippin just returned from Afghanistan.
He has made a dozen or so trips to Iraq and Afghanistan to support and entertain the troops. He usually goes to a war front on Thanksgiving to spend it with the soldiers.
A very admireable thing to do. We have seen and talked to him while he was fueling his bus at a Flying J in Nebraska a year or so ago, and he even drives his own bus! Just a real down to earth guy, he said "It breaks up the monotony of the trip!"
The pictures that I got of the concert, I apologize, as they aren't the best. It's been too cold for pool side or hot tub activities and I've just been in a mood to have something warm in the oven or in the crock pot and snuggle up under a blanket.
Today I'm baking cookies to take to the Escapees Reunion in Quartzsite on Tuesday. We are heading to the desert to a sea of rigs of all kinds, and this year's meeting of the class of '08 friends. Should be lots of fun.
Yum, cookies look good.
